Blue Jays' Slugger George Springer Gets Well-Deserved Breather

In the ever-grueling grind of a 162-game Major League Baseball season, even the most talented and durable players need an occasional breather. Such was the case for the Toronto Blue Jays’ star outfielder, George Springer, who was held out of the starting lineup for Friday’s game against the San Diego Padres. The decision to rest Springer was undoubtedly a strategic one by Blue Jays manager John Schneider, aimed at preserving the slugger’s energy and keeping him fresh for the long haul.
